Synthesis of pyramidal, cubical and truncated octahedral magnetite nanocrystals by controlling reaction heating rate

Pyramidal, cubical and truncated octahedral magnetite nanocrystals have been synthesized by thermal de-composition of iron (III) acetylacetone (Fe(acac)3) in the presence of oleic acid under various reaction rate controlled by heating rate. The magnetite nanocrystals were characterized by transmissi...
